Dong Zhujun was born in a poor family in Shanghai in 1900. Her father is a rickshaw puller, and she earns hard money from morning till night. Because of her poor family and poor life, she often went hungry when she was a child. /kloc-at the age of 0/2, my father got rheumatism because of years of fatigue, and it was even worse when the pillars fell home. In desperation, her parents had to send her to a brothel to be a singer.
Children from poor families have long been sensible. Although she was young when she was sent there, she already knew that she could survive by skill. In order to make a living, she is studious and consciously follows her master. Finally, she won a place with her beautiful face and sweet voice. At that time, there were many dignitaries and rich children among the guests who came to the brothel, and it was there that she met the most important person in her life-Xia Zhishi.
Because of her exquisite skills, she was often called to sing by guests, which made her famous. Revolutionary Xia Zhishi came to a brothel to report his mission and asked her to sing a song. At the end of the song, he was completely attracted by Dong Zhujun, and he couldn't wait to talk to her. At that time, they fell in love. In order to be with her lover, Dong Zhujun managed to escape from a brothel and went to Japan with Xia Zhishi.
When I went to Japan and studied abroad after marriage, I decided to step into the marriage hall when my feelings were strong. But at that time, Xia Zhishi's family strongly opposed the marriage, thinking that their status was out of proportion. Despite the obstacles of her family, Xia Zhishi tried her best to protect her, stuck to it and finally they got married.
After marriage, Dong Zhujun also wants to improve herself. She recalled that when she was young, she studied at home for several years. Later, because she couldn't afford the tuition, she was forced to stop studying. She asked her husband to continue studying cultural knowledge. Xia Zhishi supported her and hired a teacher to teach her lessons. After several years of hard work, she successfully completed the knowledge of high school and was admitted to Tokyo Women's Teachers College.
Marriage conflict, divorce 19 15 ended. Xia Zhishi was sent back to work in Sichuan on business, and Dong Zhujun, who graduated from normal school a few years later, returned to China to live with him. A few years ago, the days were calm, but the situation changed. Xia Zhishi failed in the factional struggle, and his military career officially ended. Frustrated, he never recovered Xia Zhishi had nothing to do at home, and gradually degenerated into many bad habits. Dong Zhujun tried to comfort her husband to no avail, because Xia Zhishi was like a different person after smoking opium. He had a bad temper and often fought with her, so the contradiction between them escalated.
In fact, many contradictions have long been hidden in the marriage life of more than ten years. After marriage, Dong Zhujun gave birth to a son and four daughters for her husband. In the patriarchal old society, she treated children equally and was not partial. But what makes her sad is that her husband's old ideas are very serious. He values his son rather than his four daughters.
Since 1929, the marriage rift has been getting bigger and bigger, and they can no longer make up. The two began a five-year cold war period of separation. 1934, the two announced the breakup of their relationship and decided to divorce. Dong Zhujun gave up his family property and left home with only four daughters. Xia Zhishi laughed at her overreaching and failure.
It is not easy for a woman to make a living with four children, but Dong Zhujun never wanted to give up. She intends to live alone in Shanghai. She ignored her husband's ridicule. First of all, she pawned a lot of jewelry accumulated over the years, and after saving enough money, she officially opened a restaurant called Jinjiang Snacks.
Fortunately, she is flexible and diligent, and the restaurant business is booming under careful management. Because of the delicious food, more and more guests come here, and the business is very hot. The guests come from literary and art circles and business circles. Dong Zhujun is good at communication and has a wide network of contacts. Gradually, many political leaders in Shanghai often come to parties to talk about things. With the help of these outstanding people, the restaurant developed very well, and she went on to open Jinjiang Tea Room, which once became a famous business tycoon in Shanghai.
1997 Dong Zhujun died at the age of 97, ending his legendary life. She escaped from a brothel, but she was not humble in love. Independent and self-reliant, she left decisively in the face of a failed marriage, and finally started her own career and wrote a wonderful ups and downs life. Presumably Xia Zhishi didn't expect that his ex-wife would be so good later. This is the story of an excellent woman who bravely live high and realized her value in the old society, not afraid of the world.
